Rear driver side

Rear passenger side
I have been redoing my suspension in stages. I got a little cooky after the ride was dramatically improved by replacing front and rear sway bar links and bushings along with the rear stabilizer bars. I took a long wide u shaped offramp way too fast. After that the steering got sloppy and the overall ride is unstable. I'm doing upper and lower control arms next week but I wanted to know if my passenger end link bushing is bent. I noticed the driver side socket sticks straight out towards other wheel but the passenger side is angled inward. My first question is if this is a normal install for that side? If the answer is no, does the tie rod rotate so that the link is reusable when I do control arms or should I purchase a new one? If you think it's been compromised at all from the pic let me know what you think because they are cheap. Thanks

 

Sure looks bent to me.
Course, I've been wrong before a couple times.

 

I'm with @Cee Jay . Next question: How could that happen?

 

I took another look under and I think I know why. Overconfidence. When the lateral links, swaybar bushings and links were replaced, the ride was improved dramatically. What I should have been thinking is how bad the remaining suspension parts that I didn't replace were. Instead I took a freeway offramp at 80mph. I believe that the shot bushings on the lower control arm allowed it to move so much under the pressure of the turn that it bent the link bushing. I'm trying to look at the silver lining. Because I have owned this car for a year and a half I have never experienced it at full potential. The lowering springs and front/rear sway bar poly bushings along with the new suspension should equal a ride quality better than when it was new hopefully.

 

That’s a bit of a stretch for me... I drive the pretty hard sometimes. Never had suspension components bend...
